Before those enthusiastic trick or treaters descend on your local cities, villages and towns this year, your customers are going to need to get Halloween-ready. Which means, if you’re a farm shop owner or run a successful gifting business, you are too.
Visions of all things black and orange come instantly to mind, along with apples for bobbing, toffee popcorn, traditional Irish barmbrack...and a good supply of pumpkins for those looking to show off their Jack-o'-lantern carving skills.
But how do you translate all of that into merchandise that will get your clients fired up and ready to buy? It’s easy! Just take a look at these bewitching ideas from the WBC team...
Halloween gift hampers
Whether your expertise lies in corporate gifting or enticing your patrons with your best sellers in-store, putting together a collection of fine food and drinks is always an excellent plan. And there’s no better way to do that than through premium gift packaging. Here’s a range of ready-to-build suggestions that will never get ghosted:
The container:
From budget-friendly Kraft boxes to wonderful wicker hampers, you’ll be able to create Halloween-themed selections that stand out from the crowd. We think these two will take the cake:
Our black gift boxes with drop on lids come in an array of sizes, allowing you to pack them full of everything from freshly baked cookies to gourmet cheeses and home-made jams. Have them on display for all to see or capitalise on your e-commerce opportunities and pop each order into one of our protective transit boxes ready for posting.
Looking for something more exclusive? Then why not explore our wicker hamper range? Available in 12, 14, 16 and 18-inch versions, they’re perfect for discerning shoppers and corporate clients looking for hauntingly good ideas. Go for a traditional brown weave or explore an option in pitch black - and then get a quality cotton liner personalised in a message or image of your choice.
The filler:
Attention to detail is always key, so make sure that you line your hampers with something fun before filling them. These are sure to create a cauldron-sized stir:
With SizzlePak shred for every occasion, Halloween is certainly no exception. Super stylish and designed to cushion delicate gifts, we’d opt for orange, purple or black to set the scene.
If refinement is your thing, use tissue paper instead – and let our skilled design team brand it for you or have it printed in a skull pattern or whatever else shakes your bones.
The finishing touches:
Wrap things up with one of our ingenious cellophane hamper bags before sealing it with a final flourish. These clever inclusions are to die for:
Our two-tone raffia tie in lime and chocolate is perfect if you’re going for a Beetlejuice or Frankenstein vibe. Or choose to delve into the dark side with a black and white striped satin ribbon straight out of The Nightmare Before Christmas. If you’re not keen on either, find a colour you like and have it prettied up with some pumpkin magic, witches' hats, black cats or anything else you fancy.
Add a branded card or metallic gift tag for some extra pizzazz in a shade that suits your theme.
Personalised Halloween bottle boxes and bags
Let your customers get spirited away this Halloween with our beautiful drinks packaging selection, designed for those with impeccable taste. Here are some options that will give you chills:
Sleek and elite, our black wooden wine boxes are available in a one- or two-bottle format, complete with a matching rope handle for ease of use. If you’d prefer something more lighthearted, (super)natural versions are also available.
If you’re having stock delivered countrywide, protect it from breakages with our black honeycomb paper - it will help avoid any disappointment and add to a fun unboxing experience.
From gift bags to bottle carriers made from Kraft or sustainable jute, we’ll make sure all your customer’s favourite tipples come with a Halloween twist – all you have to do is settle on a design and we’ll do the rest.
Halloween inspired fabric bags
WBC is famous for its fabric bag offerings, and, over the years, we’ve partnered with some of the finest retailers in the world to create versions that help them stand out from the crowd.
So, before it’s too late, get your Halloween thinking cap on and send us a personalised order that will up your game. Whatever you decide on is sure to encourage bigger in-store sales and become a must-have that your customers will tote around town for years to come. That’s the sort of brand exposure that’s sure to let your proverbial (black) cat out of the bag...plus, what else will they use for trick or treating?
